life…it’s complicated and random. very random.

This is great…so a debt collector in Lithuania has hired Lithuania’s self-professed leading witch…Vilija Lobaciuviene, to hunt down deadbeats…you’ve got to really be feelin’ the credit crunch hard to turn to a witch…
A company spokeman said, “Our new employee will help them to understand the situation, reconsider what is right and wrong and act accordingly.”
Soo…how exactly is she going to “help them to understand”…I mean if one doesn’t have the money they owe you how’s a spell going to help the situation? Or is she more of a tracker?
I’m really intrigued by this….I want to know what she’s doing…
Apparently she can provide many magical tools: casting spells, hypnosis, prediction of future, herbal medicines and what she calls “the bio-energy field.”
But….is she a good witch or bad witch?? LOL!!!
Makes me wonder what acts of fuckery she’s done…

I am by no mean a copyrights expert but damn Coldplay I can “hear” the dude’s point….

Joe Satrian claims Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” borrows from his “If I Could Fly”
listen and decide for yourself…not that it will matter though…only the jury members’
opinions matter to Joe and his bank account.

Alright I might as well come out and admit that I am a dork. nerd. geek. whatev you want to call me I don’t care…as long as it’s not ignorant or disrespectful I’ll take it as a compliment. I read the Wall Street Journal everyday and through my classes I also have an online subscription for FREE…which is really nice.
Anyways…when the first bailout was being discussed in the House, there was an article in the WSJ entitled, “Momentum Gathers to Ease Mark-to-Market Accounting Rule.” Some 60+ members of Congress had written the SEC in support of a proposed suspension of the accounting rules stating that it would reduce the cost of (at that time) potential bailout.
Now…I am only a college student (studying mathematics, economics, finance and accounting) but even I could see that a suspension would simply be a temporary fix with huge potential to make the whole financial industry’s situation even worse than it was at the time. And to be honest, the fact that some 60+ members of Congress WROTE in support of a suspension left me with the feeling that “dumb and dumber” were in charge.
Now for anyone that doesn’t know….the mark-to-market accounting rules basically forces a company to write down the value of their assets to the assets’ current market value instead of at the price the company paid for said assets. So, for instance, many banks invested heavily in various financial securities (like mortgage-related ones) but the securities market have all but dried up in the last six months, and so the banks have had to write down the value of their securities assets to the current dirt cheap market values. That, in turn, creates a even greater balance sheet problem especially for those banks and companies which are already struggling without reducing the value of their assets.
Many people, such as those 60+ members of Congress, would say that it sounds like (at least on the surface) like a bad rule but at the it provides vital protection for investors. Everyday we hear about a new troubling company attempting to court a potential investor to provide an immediate source of capital or to buy the company…if this rule were to be suspended it would really put those investors at a great disadvantage with a lack of critical financial information.
But in the spirit of real Americana the SEC is expected to pass the buck on providing real guidance on how to apply the rule in our current market to the FASB.

(shakes head) It’s like when I was little and my mom would tell me to put my jewelry away neatly in my jewelry box but I never did. Eventually I would find myself with a tangled mess of necklaces and bracelets that seemed to take forever to unwind and straighten out.
As much as I hate to say it, I feel like the government’s only just opened the jewelry box and discovered the problem. We haven’t even begun to untangle our mess of financial, economic and poor business decisions.

The other day I posted the Kid Cudi “Day N Nite” Crookers Remix video that’s been all over but out of respect for Kid Cudi I have decided to take it down from my blog. Sorry but you can find it elsewhere.
You can read about the situation for yourself on his blog but basically it’s unauthorized for release.
I feel for him…and that’s why I’m doing this…peace.

Now I know there’s alot of jokes about men and possession of the tv remote but this is fucking ridiculous!!

This is coming out from New Jersey…Donald Zampini pleaded guilty yesterday to aggravated manslaughter to killing his friend, Barbara Morris…ok so first I should probably tell you that old Donald here is 73 years and Ms. Barbara was 63 years old. Donald told the Judge he was arguing with Barbara over possession of the tv remote and that even though he doesn’t remember it (how fucking conveinent) he apparently then stabbed Barb 28 times…wtf! over the damn tv remote…is he fucking serious?!
Now since old Donald skipped a trial and pleaded out…he has been sentenced to 18 years in prison and has to serve at least 15 years before he can be released…but really at this point isn’t that pretty much a life sentence? Seriously…Don will most likely die in prison over a fucking tv remote…hope he got to watch whatever damn show was so important cuz it only cost him 15 years.

Randy Goodman, 49, shot the wrong deer…a deer that wasn’t going to go down without a fight. Randy thought his two ‘well-placed shots’ with a .270 caliber rifle had killed Bambi but Bambi was just playing. Within seconds the nine-point 240 pound deer came to life and attacked Randy. He called it, “15 seconds of hell,” as Bambi attacked him with his antlers. Fuck…that had to hurt like a mother fucker. Seriously.
The deer tried to run off but Randy got him with two more shots and it was lights out for Bambi. But the beating Bambi inflicted warranted a trip to the hospital for Randy, where he received seven staples in his scalp and treated for a slight concussion. Damn…hope that kill was worth it.

According to the Chicago Tribune…a kiss on the cheek is all this Chicago couple has done…

they plan to wait until their wedding for a real kiss and wedding night for everything else…..
Fcuk me…I’ve heard of and even attempted to do the whole “waiting for marriage” thing but for SEX not kissing! So far…I am unsuccessful at the whole waiting for marriage to have sex thing but the beauty of it is I get a new chance with every relationship. But honestly I’ve never really tried it’s always been a half ass attempt…it becomes more of a “how long can I hold out” thing like a game I play or personal challenge. lol!!

Back to this couple though…according to the article they have been friends for two years and dating for a year (they used the word ‘courtship’ but seriously are we in the 1900s?). Apparently the “no kissing rule” helped keep things from getting out of hand for the couple, they were never alone in a house and snuggled while watching tv or a movie sitting up not laying down. Talk about effing discipline!

But both of them teach abstinence to teens so got to give them props for practicing what they are preaching!!!

Fuck…I know I couldn’t do it. I like making out way toooo much for all that.

When I first came across this story I thought it was a joke, but it’s for real…lol.
According to the UK’s Telegraph, a couple of gay penguins are attempting to become fathers by stealing eggs from straight penguin couples. The boys started putting stones at the feet of the parent penguins to conceal that they were waddling off with their eggs. But their theft was noticed by other penguins at the zoo and the gay couple has now been ostracised so keepers have segregated the three year old male penguins from the rest in attempt to avoid any disruptions during hatching season.

You maybe laughing your ass off right about now…as are the people I just told but apparently gay penguins is not uncommon in the animal community. I can’t stop laughing at the image of boys waddling off with the eggs and the parents waddling after them when they realized what had happened…lol!!!!!

**In 2002, a couple of gay penguins were “outed” after eight years when keepers finally noticed they were both males at a NY zoo….my question is what took them EIGHT years to notice?!? I mean after the third or four year weren’t they concerned by the lack of babies?! Whatev.

**A German zoo unsuccessfully tried to mate some gay male penguins by flying in some Swedish female birds…but those males were for real gay and were not turned on in the slightest.

Say “Hello” to the new generation of Philips’ iPill technology- they’ve taken the camera pill to the next level. This new iPill or “intelligent pill” is designed to electronically control the release of medicine according to varying and changing factors. You can click on the photo if you want all the scientific information…
BUT..let me be the first to say, “WTF?!?” I do not like this man…I like the idea of being able to control what medications I take and when by SWALLOWING them myself.
This has potential for abuse (and good) written all over it…or maybe I’m just another conspiracy theorist grasping at straws…decide for yourself but start thinking people!
